邻苯二甲酸二丁酯对短裸甲藻活性氧自由基的影响

为揭示邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(dibutyl phthalate,DBP)对短裸甲藻(Gymnodinium breve)的抑制机制,采用荧光探针法和比色法研究了DBP对短裸甲藻活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)、羟自由基.OH和过氧化氢H2O2含量以及超氧阴离子自由基O.2-产生速率的影响,同时观察了电子传递链抑制剂对DBP诱导ROS能力的影响.结果表明DBP诱导了短裸甲藻ROS的积累.随浓度的增大,DBP促进了.OH、H2O2的积累,如3 mg.L-1的DBP处理组,培养至48 h时.OH出现一个极大峰值33U.mL-1,约为对照组的2.4倍;H2 O2含量培养至72 h出现最大值,约为250 nmol.(107 cells)-1,约为对照组的5倍;但是DBP对O.2-产生速率的影响并没有显示出规律性.电子传递链选择性抑制实验表明DBP可能影响了藻细胞线粒体和细胞膜2个位点上电子传递,使.OH、H2O2含量和O.2-产生速率受到了不同的影响,最终诱导了短裸甲藻总ROS的积累.可见,DBP导致ROS的过量积累是其抑制藻细胞生长的主要机制.本研究结果对揭示化感物质抑制藻类的机制提供了科学依据.

Effects of Allelochemical Dibutyl Phthalate on Gymnodinium breve Reactive Oxygen Species

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of inhibitory action of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) on red tide algae Gymnodinium breve. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, contents of *OH and H2O2, and O2*(-) production rate were investigated, and also for the effects of electron transfer inhibitors on the ROS induction of DBP. The results showed that DBP triggered the synthesis of reactive oxygen species ROS, and with the increase of concentration of DBP, *OH and H2O2 contents in cells accumulated, as for the 3 mg x L(-1) DBP treated algae cultures, OH showed a peak of 33 U x mL(-1) at 48 h, which was about 2. 4 times higher than that in the controlled, and H2O2 contents was about 250 nmol x (10(7) cells)(-1) at 72 h, which was about 5 times higher and also was the highest during the whole culture. Rotenone (an inhibitor of complex I in the mitochondria electron transport chain) decreased the DBP induced ROS production, and dicumarol (an inhibitor of the redox enzyme system in the plasma membrane) stimulated the DBP induced ROS production. Taken all together, the results demonstrated DBP induced over production of reactive oxygen species in G. breve, which is the main inhibitory mechanism, and mitochondria and plasma membrane seem to be the main target site of DBP. These conclusions were of scientific meaning on uncovering the inhibitory mechanism of allelochemical on algae.
